So do we think Eritrea should be forced to come back to Ethiopia? Of course not, Its an independent country, and we respect that. If Somaliland wants to be independent from Somalia, and I see it has been functioning independently for many years now, what is the issue with recognizing their peoples wish?
More importantly: 1. Somaliland territorial borders were made in 1889 2. Somalia's borders were made 1925 The only viable unity of all Somalis is if: Ethiopia abdicated Haud+Ogadeen regions, Kenya abdicates NFD regions, Djibouti accepts unity and then Somaliland and Somalia can discuss a NEW unity of all Somalis. It is pure hypocrisy to reject Somaliland sovereign right, while Ethiopia and kenya colonise somali territory. Now if Somalia wishes to promote somali unity it needs to work towards liberating territories still colonized by Ethiopia and Kenya and Yemen (Socotra island). AU countries sovereignty is based on colonial territory... pure and simple... either respect all colonial borders or remove them all??? And if that is the case, Somalia should begin claiming the Haud+Ogadeen territory of ethiopia?
People from Sool Sanag Cayn are against this one Clan state. They're are fighting for unity for decades. So don't talk about foreign interference policy if you don't know what's going on on the ground.
Somaliland was a British protectorate from 1884 to 1960 it's no different than Eritrea whether East Africa likes it or not. The people of Somaliland rejected the constitution of 1961 just one year after the unification. Italian Somalia did not took over Somaliland by force rather it was a voluntary Union. From 1981 to 1991 Somaliland went to war against Somalia and we are ready for war if that's what Somalia wants.
The people of Somaliland who? Sool Sanaag Cayn Awdal all are unionist. That accounts for more than 70% How will you force the majority? Ilaahay kabaq walal sbxnllh

Let's work for cooperation and mutual benefits.
@@ramirami4416 If we go back to history the whole east and part of north Africa was part of Ethiopia. Djibuti and Eritrea are recent which we all remember . So the hard truth is the other way round. Many small countries were formed after colonialists determine boundaries making Ethiopia smaller and smaller. That is the truth.
@@ramirami4416 The whole E,Africa and part of N. Africa was part of Ethiopia .Go back to history to understand howmuch Ethiopia is getting smaller from time to time.

The UK again??? Nothing good would come out if this except war. Just unite as one people, the British Empire thrived on devide and rule!! Just look at the so called Balford Declaration, India and Pakistan today are still technically at war, the so called creation of the state of Isreal on Palestine and continue to support the slaughtering of innocent Palestinians today When has Somalia or Somaliland becomes important for the western world or is it becausethey cant stand tge fire from the Houthis in the redsea? We all know how Ethiopia under the current administration is in bed with the West, using the Western Arms to crush the people of Tigray. Perhaps Ethiopia should recognise Tigray's independence and just leave Somalia alone!!!
Somali worked so hard for the independent of Eritrea. Even Siad Bare invaded Ethiopia using then rebels TPLF & Shabia. It seems the table is turn now. Thats why any country shouldn't be helping rebels to break up countries!
Very touchy issue. We are saying no more divisions in the Horn and here we go. Why can't Ethiopia negotiate with Somalia and create opportunities for everyone rather than creating animosity? There are some Somalis who believed the movement that was started by Hermela which was to respect the sovereignty of each country. Now Somalia will be forced to look for friends like Egypt and at the same time support rebel groups against Ethiopia. When is the Horn gonna breathe? When are we gonna open borders and integrate and carry single passport? Farmajo really believed in Abiy but he is now under heavy criticism back home and most likely will not return. Because of historical facts Somalis were cautiously optimistic and they have been proven right.
We want to hear what our Somaliland brothers have to say on this subject. Ethiopia shares a large border with Somaliland and there is no initiative from Somalia on how to handle the situation, no proposals, negotiations and tangible solution in sight concerning Somaliland. in the mean time Somalia couldn't even agree on a unifying constitution and mode of election and is still run by former warlords and hooligans while other countries are establishing military bases in Somaliland. Looking at the mess in Somalia and with no initiative or dialogue around the table on both sides; Somaliland will never agree to join up with its former host country. FYI The ''Sheik" you brought here is a brutal RAPIST wanted in two different countries.
Hi Abraham, Mr. Hersy's argument does not mske sense at all. Arab nations may share teligion, language and ethicity but that does make them one state. The star in the flag that he mentioned represents Djibouti, parts of Kenya and Ethiopia and Somaliland. It is urealistic for Somalia to force it conviction on others. People decided and that ended Somalia's dream.
@@medbalayah5495 comparing Arab nations to small country like Somalia? FYI Arabs do share same religion. This shows how Ethiopia is disingenuous and wants to take advantage of present situation of Somalia.
We have to respect the territorial integrity of Somali. There is no excuse here. The Ethiopian government should correct the way it is gping. #NoMore division in the HOA
The Ogadeenia region of Ethiopia should be given a referendum to join Somalia first??? It is Somalia's primary dream and the only thing that will make Somalia stable again. The 1977 war is not over and Muuqdisho will invade Ogadeenia as soon as it has the power!

I think Somaliland should be given an opportunity to make a choice through a referendum. Somalia Central government need to look the situation for long term otherwise its going to end up like Ethio&Eri years suffering. Anyway, its just my opinion. I hope all somali people find a common ground to end the suffering. God bless you all
Thank you and respect🇸🇴❤️🇪🇹 but the grater Somalia was already divided and now what’s left of it the one you and I know. And we won’t have that! Imagine if Somalia was dived into Puntland, Somaliland, Jubaland. What would be left if it. Those are big states in Somalia.
What's unfolding in and around Ethiopia is really full of madness 😠 I am lost in just to guess what happened to PM Abiy and his administration since Filtman left. Don't know where the orders came from to force things change 360° overnight. Major and bad changes are taking place.. What if this happens to Ethiopia to separate Oromia and others recognize it? 🤔 very sad.
Oromia would have to evaluate if separation from Ethiopia is beneficial for it??? Abiy used Somalia like a condom and when he was done, he dumped somalia in the bin of history. Melez retained mature political relationship with Somaliland, because Somaliland delivers its promises. Somalia is not capable of delivering anything since the president faromarjjo needs 20,000 Au troops to go to toilet is his 1sq km compound. Somalia has no future, why care what somalia thinks??? Somalia president did not even say 1 word to Abiye. Why? it is because Faomarjo in muuqdisho is a fake paper president in need of 20,000 au troops to even stay in his 1sq km presidential compound. Why should Abiye respect a fool?
True, this divid and rule is madness to the fullest. If Somalia unit with Ethiopia it definitely benefit both parties and definitely make them stronger.
@@Agent-qd9ozare you crazy you heard it already somalia gonna Unite inshallah they should hand over Ogaden without war it’s what the people of that land want , they want to be united with their country somalia 🇸🇴
I’m Ethiopian and I don’t understand this move. I feel like UAE is involved here.. they probably see lucrative business opportunity in Somaliland ports related to Ethiopian import/export.
Arabs and their masters don't want us to live in peace and harmony and prosper together. This is the new colonialism of Africa. Why can't Africans use their strategic ports rather than an Arab or someone else taking over. Abiy has reversed the tripartite agreements that raised the hopes of the people of the Horn. Shame!
I am from Somaliland I totally agree with you, but unfortunately abiy got short memories and is very sad and the hell with those uae long live greater Somalia 🇸🇴
🇪🇷ERITREA got the independence based on the same argument that it was colonized by Italia. Somaliland was colonized by 🇬🇧England so they take that to claim their independence. Eritrea's Independence opened huge precedent to Somaliland independence. However, 🇸🇴SOMALIA still have a Strong support frim 🇪🇹Ethiopian people.
Hermela, there are a lot of mistakes in this video. 1) The Somaliland, Somalia population ratio is 1:2. Not 1:6 as stated in this video. Hargeisa is the 2nd largest Somali city in the Horn at about ~1.5 million people, with the rest of Somaliland being in the range of about 5 million. Somalia's population minus Somaliland is about 10 million. 2) Somaliland's existence respects the principle of Uti possidetis in international law. This alone makes it a unique situation in the world. Recognition wouldn't lead to a domino effect of secessionist states across Africa. Other unrecognized states don't have these conditions met. 3) Somaliland is NOT a secessionist entity, it is a founding state in the 1960 Union to create Somalia. It was a disillusion of union that was corrected in 1991. 4) Somaliland held a referendum in 2001 with a 97.1% voted in affirming Somaliland's independence. This fact is further cemented by the African Union's fact-finding mission in 2005.
You are incorrect and spreading false information. 1) There is no official consensus conducted in Somalia that reflectds offical populations. You are cooking up numbers because your second point already alludes to the Montevideo convention for statehood which one of the main criteria is a fixed number of settled population. The lie is so convinienet for you to state IsaaqLand is 5 million because you think it would satisified one of the requirements. 2) somaliland aka IsaaqLand does not respectd any international law or logic. Armed milita who go by the name of SNM who everyone knows who were created by and for Isaaq declared this is called country. The question to the world and any sane people is "since when do tribe get recognised as a country?" The immoral argument for the likes of you and others who support this is that they claim lands that belong to other tribes in the region and forcing them, by force, to comply. Also, we all know the quagmire that is African borders due to colonial borders. This would and SHOULD create a domino effect if the any member of the internal communiate dares to recognise illegal region as a country. 3) Another big lie, and you are not even ashamed of it which is very telling. British somaliland was a region which the British gave back the control to local administration. It did NOT get recognised as a country, no country including the British recognised it as a country and we certainly NOT a member of the UN. So where does your fantasy come from that it was a founding state? Do logic and truth not mean anything to you people? Lastly, calling it an 'disillusion' of the union won't change the fact Somalis were and are anti imperialism. The ancestors fought and died for these lands. Somalis from all walks of life come together to create a nation on 1st July 1960. The Republic of Somalia. You and other tribalist will never break this. 4) This is absolute a joke, gone are the days were you spewed your falsehood unchallenged. Somalis are awake to your bullshit. For anyone else reading this, this is called referendrum did not have any international observers, ballots were not sent to all the regions they claim to control, armed SNM militia were sent to certain regions like Awdal where they intimidated people who went in to vote. Laslty, and this is the most important of all, is that they lied and switched the question of the so called referendum in 2001. Initially it was NOT meant to be a question of secession but due to misinformation spread over the radio and forcing many who could not read or write to vote led to this. There were voluenteers from a university in South Africa who went there on their own money for research purposes and they've expressed their concern there were prevented from visiting Sool and Sanaag region were other tribes live. They have also observed people who were allowed to express their opinion. Your bullshit won't fly anymore man, this information is easily available, please google their so called referendum in 2001 and you can read up on those volunteers who were there. AU so called fact finding mission was the most idiotic of it all. I wish they'd fully recommended IsaaqLand recognition because every stupid dictator in Africa would have suffered the consequences of their action. A TPLF funded mission is not something any sane person should qoute.
Not even 97% of Isaaq agree with the independence, you mever had a referendum of the whole nation, votes of non Isaaq specifically Daarood are disregarded, so respectfully, this is an illusion. If Somaliland was so great, why are people still dying and risking death to go to elsewhere? Because its a lie.
Whether it is two Somalias or one, we Ethiopians want Somalian fate decided by Somalians. We don’t want our government to be a regional power-broker! Somalians, whatever you decide for your internal affairs, with reason, we shall embrace!
Abiye made a deal in 2018 with Somalia's Faromarjo dictator and Eriteria's Afwerki dictator to commit genocie against citizens of Ethiopia the Tigre. When the job was done, Abiye called Eriteria invaders and rapists, and called Somalia terrorists. Somalia is not a sovereign country, it is colony economically government by Turkey, militarily government by Amisom or AU, Somalia is technically a modern colonial project under UN resolution chapter-7 and soon to be upgraded to chapter-12 a full colonial project. Abiy used somalia like a condom and there is only one thing you can do with a condom used to invade the Tigre people.
I am Ethiopian…, but I don’t expect such move from Ethiopia. Even though Somaliland is governing itself for the last couple of decades, it is not officially succeeded from Somalia. We don’t know what is going on behind the scene , America is also moving to recognize it . I don’t support meddling other nations internal issues even if u have some interest to look for. Even though Somalia government is weak now, we should respect the people.
Ethiopia needs to choose Somali Unity Vs Somaliland recognition Ethiopia must be ready to loose Kilil-5 the Somali region of ethiopia for ever, and with all the oil reserves in it.
In that case respect the choice made by the people of Somaliland that was made in a free and fair referendum that was internationally observed and deemed as such.
@@kiberenigestsebez6633 lol. I guess it would be like if Mogadishu tried to recognize Tigray as independent. And if Abiy gets mad about Somalia’s interference, Somalia can say hay he is meddling and stifling the aspiration of Tigray people. They can say he is the one meddling. For you to say that Somalia is meddling when it tries to exercise control over its internationally recognized territory, then anyone can say the same about any part of Ethiopia where people are discontent or have some aspiration of autonomy. This is complicated. Let’s not simplify it. Ethiopia’s interest is clear. It wants access to port in exchange for meaningless recognition. I hope it gets the port. But let’s not lie to ourselves.
@@ermiasd2695 Who do you think forced Abiye to invite the President of Somaliland? Since 1991 when Somaliland left the oluntary union with Somalia, it has held its 6th presidential election, parlimentary election, 2 local council election and is heading for its second multi party election. Somaliland has the fairest democratic election 2nd only to Ghana in maturity and reality. The despotic African Countries SHOULD be trying to compete with that level of unassisted democratic progress. It is the WESTERN powers and the middle east that Ethiopia now needs to save it's economy. Abiy will jump as high as he is told., and for now he has betrayed the useless dog Faromarjo since Ethiopia has little economic exchange with Somalia.
I'm from Somaliland but I would never want to witness Somaliland receive independence. I'm from the issaq tribe and despite our clan differences we are the same ethnic and the same religion. Unless your uneducated there is no fundamental difference between Somalia and Somaliland. Uff
Ethiopia knows that Somaliland is reliable partner and good neighbour. Abiye realised that Somaliland can't be ignored. Again, Somaliland and Somalia were two different countries united and merged The Somali Republic, that was meant to unite all Somali people (Somaliland, Djibouti, Somalia, Somali regional state of Ethiopia and NFD) unification of all Somali territories didn't work and it was too ambitious. So, there is no legitimate claim against Somaliland independence from the failed state of Somalia.
Actually, there is no officially recognized Somaliland country! but better to unit as East African nation for better development, prosperity and integrity.
somalia has double GDP per capita of somaliland -- if somalia is a failed state then what does that make somaliland? the only argument i've seen coming from somaliland for their recognition is to get more international aid, not an acknowledgement of their sovereignty.
@@SRXT09bro really said Somalia had double the gdp per capita of Somaliland Somalia has gdp per capita of around 300-400 hundred while Somaliland is about almost 1000 do not compare gdp per capita if u know that Somalia is lower
This is most offensive to Somalilanders that don't belief in secession. at a time when the Berlin wall between the people was breaking down, Ethiopia takes this move. We in awdal and SSC see this as intervention against our self-determination to stay inside the union. Obviously Abiy has ulterior motives.
Lies. You don't represent us in Sool, Sanag and Awdal. We made Somaliland and we don't want to go back to Somalia and destroy our Somaliland again. You can go to Xarmajo and the Marexaar but Somaliland will not make the same mistake!!

We, Ethiopians , wish to see a united and stable Somalia . Our PM is known to be pro unity.. We should all understand the West hate him for this. Belive me the Ethiopian government has the best at heart when it tries to make such connections and business visits. We all know finding common ground and listening to each other is more important to bring unity than speaking the same language and following the same religion . Let us all stay positive and work for united Africa .
I'm from somaliand, somaliand was never part of Somalia, somaliand and Somali formed a union called the Somali Republic. The Republic was destroyed by a dictator from the South who attempted to genocide the northern part of the country ( somaliand). When the state collapsed the northern part took back it's independence. The south went back to being Somalia and the north back to Somaliand. btw this fake sheikh is a a member of the Somalian dictator family and therefore is bias as hell.these people destroyed Somalia murdered more than a million people using all types of tactics bombing in the north, starvation in the South. stole land from the Bantu minority.
Brother, the was nothing called Somaliland in the first place, Italy and uk decided in berlin which parts they wanna colonize as they couldn't capture the whole country. The 1960 reunification was just a middle finger to the colonizers. You can't change history, the regions inhabitated by somalis might have never been under one rule, but it was lots of close kingdoms throughout history. Somaliland never existed prior to the British arrival in Somalia.
@@DidiDidi-hg4kg 54 African countries did not exists pre-colonial era or prior to the Berlin conference of 1884, well liberia if you wish nitpick. The world does not simply cater to the wishes of Somalia's who is a failure, besides it makes no sense cock-blocking another Somali state attempting to develop and pursue a life free from daily suicide bombs and 20,000 foreign troops. If Somalia had any genuine unity strategy it would attempt discuss unity with occupied Somali territories in Ethiopia and Kenya. Not one single person who hails from Somalia is able to define "Somali-Unity" or are they committed to make it a reality. What has Somalia sacrificed from the unity of all 5-somali territories? nothing, in fact Somalia has given the "Somali" the worte publicity in the last 60years. Look at Djibouti with a population 1/5 that of Somaliland and it is successful and peaceful compared to Somalia! Somalia has no sells pitch, no sales strategy of why anyone should unite with it, it is basket-case where terrorist are collecting taxes in 80% of Somalia. Is it not rational for the two states to part company, develop individually as Somaliland has for the lat 30years and made major deelpmental leaps in economy and social progress. Somaliland exports over 150 students to the top universities globally every year from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge to name a few. The last presidential election has 1.6million voters in a 1-man-1vote, hailed the most free and far by African standards. Somalia has thousands who die attempting to cross shark invested waters into EU annually. Daily there are suicide bombs, Somalia has no constitution since 1961, Somalia has not had democratic election since 1967. Ikraan Tahliil a young government employee was kidnapped by somalia secret police and is missing without a trace. It is against Human rights to ask anyone to join Somalia!!! Somalia cannot hold even a presidential selection process with 275corrupt individuals who are usually paid $10-50k to select the next president. You have a former president whose mandate expired Feb2021. How would Somaliland unite with a burning failed state? guarded by 20,000 AU troops? I think Somalia should be upgraded from UN resolution chapter-7 to chapter-12 and have its fake Sovereignty stripped, what could then happen is Somaliland is paid to administer it while it remains a UN-trust territory... i mean that is also a form of political togetherness... would that make you happy??? Somaliland would use its expertise in state building to restore Somalia, but it would mean Somaliland gaining full sovereignty,is that suitable to you as a means of ending somali division, it may be viable!
@@oogdhugee_3072 talked like a real seccionist with absolutely no knowledge of history. Yes 54 African countries didn't cuz the Europeans didn't create the fake borders. The whole of Somaliland argument is we self governed when they're not the only state. There's literally 3 regions in Somaliland that are unionists. Even SL politicians don't believe in their secession, they just do it for the special statutes and make as much money while it lasts. The world has on multiple occasions 100% rejected the one clan enclave, why would they create another poor African country. It's a fact that Somaliland is used like a bitch by anybody that has a beef with Somalia. I.e. the Arabs, UK, Kenya, Ethiopia. Recognizing that region means they lose such a card which they used to pressure Somalia. And lastly, plz don't about development. Although Mogadishu faces terrorist threat, it's 100x times more developed than the whole Somaliland and produces more GDP per capita than the whole of Somaliland combined. I'll advise SL leaders to stop paying millions of money to RUclips lobbyists and actually spend it the people that need it.

As a big fan of Hermela, I did not expect this from her particularly given her intelligence and experience as a journalist. Somalia and somaliland are NO different than the hundreds of countries demarcated by Europeans. Somalia and somaliland were two different countries with distinct borders just like any other countries. Somaliland took independence before Somalia gained independence, so the argument of secession does not apply to somaliland. I beg you Hermela to study the subject matter and due justice to the discourse before you label it “one clan secessionist”. To the other Ethiopians who have respectfully posted their comments, if somaliland and Somalia unite again, make NO mistake we are coming for the somali portion of Ethiopia to realize our dream of pan Somali state. This will happen by force thru war since Ethiopia would not let go of that region. If you want to revisit the war of 1977 all over again and an endless wars and conflicts in the region, then go ahead and promote a PAN somali state.

Where is Dr. Galeyr and his SSC…of course they are both in Somaliland. The new SSC has no legitimacy. If Somalis want PAN Somalia, I’m for it…let’s start with regions that are not in Somali hands like Ethiopia and Kenya anything less is a straw man argument
Let’s be truthful, Somalis are after missing regions of Somalis; first of that list being Ethio-somali region. Why don’t you all have the guts to say it out load. We somaliland moved on.
Somaliland will be fully recognized any day now. The real Question is, should the borders of the State of Somaliland end at Puntland. There have been calls for the annexation of Puntland, or a 99 year lease to bring democracy and freedom to the people of Puntland who are being oppressed by their own government. Puntland, would essentially become an administered area of Somaliland, but not officially apart of the State of Somaliland, thus no open borders.
It is because Somaliland was a nation before Somalia. Because the 5star dream is dead and Ogadenia Djibouti and northern Kenya will not be part of. It is not one clan secession as you portrayed. We would like Somalilanders be part of your discussion.
No it was NOT a nation, it was a region which was never internationally recognised. Also, you know you can't fool Somalis that IsaaqLand is not a one clan enclave right? Seriously? You going to argue with Somalis that all the tribes that live in the North of Somalia support the Isaaq in their quest of dominance over others? Get real man
@@masale They are already the dominant ones and like it or not, they are a nation of their own. One day your worst nightmare is gonna give you a heart attack. 35 countries recognized on 26th day of June 1960 but they opted for the failed union that resulted disastrous and never worked.

Hermela, from what you've explained about what President Sahilework did and the word offensive just didn't go together for me, and that was your question too, i believe so is that the interference or what part is offended them?
It's nothing to do with Ethopia or Abey Ahmed policy, it's Somaliland people who made a mistake to unite with Somalia And now they withdraw from the Union of the Failed state
Ethiopia shouldn't sit down and watch while other countries come to Somaliland and establish their military base there. Ethiopia's present in Somaliland will not affect the unity of Somalia, in the contrary it will defend it. If Ethiopia ignores any manoeuvre by other countries in Hargessa, then in return it will dangerously affect it in particular and Somalia in general.
Ethiopia has no choice, after committing genocide against Tigre, Abiye was told and forced to extend a red carpet for the President of Somaliland. Somaliland did not beg Ethiopia for a red carpet, Ethiopia begged us to walk on her red carpet. Abiy made his alliance with Eriterai and Somalia and he suffered a mental breakdown working with those two genocidal countries. Abiye was forced to beg Somaliland president to walk on his red carpet. Abiye was forced to betray Afiwerki(Eriteria) and Faromarjo(Somalia), and he was forced to go to Dubia like a coward little dog and beg for economic assistance. What the hell can Somalia do about it??? nothing 1. Kenya extended the same red carpet for president of the only democratic country in the Horn somaliland's Muuse Biixi... Somalia immediately cut diplomatic ties and sent home their ambassador. 2. Guinea-conakry extended similar red carpet to Somaliland,... Somalia immediate cut diplomatic ties and refused to ever speak to them again. Now we are waiting for Somalia to do the same with Ethiopia if they have any dignity, otherwise Somalia is discriminating against Bantu-countries. Why is it ok to cut ties with one african country but not another for the same reason??? It is a case for the AU to discuss!
@@oogdhugee_3072 Nobody committed genocide against Tigaru. Contrary was countless Amaras, Oromos, Gambella and Soomaalis who faced slaughter by the TPLF. Abiy only made an alliance with the presidents of Eritrea and Somalia for security and economic gains. Why the obsession with red carpets?
Actually it’s NOT ONE ☝️ CLAN 😂 Isaaq is MAJORITY but we had one ☝️ OTHER clan PRESIDENT his name is Dahir Riyale Kahin & his CLAN is Gadabuursi that SETTLE in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 & Somaliland 🇮🇷 👍
The problem now is.. Somali government stopped allowing for Ethopians the use of berbera port . #2 Djibouti increased 73% taxes to Ethopians if they want use their port, because they don't have choice take it or leave it. Millions of Oromo people who are working in Somalia are been kicked out. So now who lost?
As a somalilander back in 1980s somali as one including somaliland we are the one and the first country supported recognition for eriteria every somali knows what we did after 1977 supporting eriteria to weaken ethiopia. Now ethiopia is doing the same. And as a somalilander and for my country to move on for recognition we are playing the card and supporting ethiopia. 120 million ethiopians with out port and 6 million somalilander with out recognition. So its win win for both of us plus 40 percentage of Ethiopian airlines with i always take from london to my somaliland its win win for ethiopia and somaliland. Let southern somali people cry and shut it😂😂
What fragment are they talking about. One ethnic group doesn't kill it's own people and poison them. What happened in Somaliland amounts ti Genocide at it's highest level. This is about Somalilands People and the Direction it wants to take for its People.

This enables ethiopia to take over Somaliland which has an insignificant and weak army which ethiopia can squash like an insect. THINK Somaliland people and stop letting small things like recognition blind you.
Abiy Ahmed is a hypocrite. He attacked the Tigre region of Ethiopia because they did not listen to his orders not to hold elections and now he says he is signing an agreement with a province of Somalia instead of the Federal government which is the only one that has the right to sign agreements for the Whole of Somalia. I believe this will backfire and will unite Somalis and we will defend our land like we did centuries from Ethiopian aggression. As for Abiy Ahmed He seems to be desperate to divert attention from the wars he started within his country. First, He attacked the Tigre region, then the Oramia region, and now the Amhara region. As for the traitor of so so-called president of Somaliland, he is also facing a similar situation because he is also facing an internal civil war and he wants to extend his rule for two more years illegally and people said NO therefore he is facing a similar situation at home like Abiy Ahmed.
Eritrea can not be forced to join Ethiopia! Same way Somaliland can not be forced to join Somalia. Also please keep ethics of journalism, you have to listen both sides of any argument dear. Thanks!
Are you TPLF junta ? You are thinking through? Get over your self. Ethiopia knows what is best for itself. We have many good leaders in the top while you are doing what? Just 🤫
@@daved5683 We can’t dismiss everything by calling names he is right Abiy’s foriegn policy has been a total disaster he makes decisions w/out considering the repurcussions this same mistake was repeated in the Nile dam talks he dismissed the former doctrine in not allowing foriegn powers to mediate the negotiations but he did and we remember the results and how Trump lashed out this trend of reckless decisions will cost our country a lot and blind support will not get us anywhere
@@daved5683 Anchi dedeb. We don’t have to be juntas to disagree with Abiy. The choices he has been making are questionable and I don’t trust him.

U need to wake up my dear. 💚💛❤️
Well, as a Somalia I expected Ethiopia to do this, but I didn’t expect filthy Oromo will be the leader when Ethiopia pulls last breath out of Somalia, but all the blames goes back to the Somalis who put their country in this horrible place!
It's certainly not the appropriate timing for Abiy Ahmed to open another front against Ethiopia. There are already several issues to deal with in local regions, not forgetting the tension with Eritrea. In my opinion PM Abiy didn't take the right decision in this case.
Somaliland separated from somalia 1991 they have their own flag borders currency and Somaliland people they don’t believe whats called unity viva Somaliland
We respect Eritrea independencey why not somaliland ? Get the history ( idiogy) English and Italy No No No Two difrent country and language but they can work peacfully No war. Accept and respect ppl idea.
For the past 30 years the only thing Somaliland gained from Ethiopia is training of high-ranking soldiers and scholarships for students other than that I don't recall any help from Ethiopia. We buy products worth more than 500 million dollars from Ethiopia and in return we asked Ethiopia to purchase our fish and Ethiopia said no. Ethiopia is a close market and we should close Ethiopia from our markets especially Khat. Mr. Abiye Ahmed turn his back on Somaliland right after he was elected and right now Somaliland is getting new friend like the United States and Taiwan.
I mean since this all borders was drowning of outsiders why not change? Tbh horn of africa should be one under one leadership 4 countries but one people but we are weak to unite but strong to be divided make it make sense
Somaliland is a well organized, democratic, military powerful nation that can pulverize Somalia in a few hours. So whether Zoomalia is happy about Somaliland or not is immaterial.
That a one-clan breakaway enclave calling itself Somaliland is part and parcel of Somalia in the eyes of Somalia, the rest of Africa, and indeed the international community of Somalia. That the one-clan secessionist enclave uses force to compel its secession on the other four unionist clans in northern Somalia (former British Somaliland) who occupy nearly 70% of the territory.
The move of Abiy is to get a Coast using Somaliland. It would be better to establish Islamic dominance among all ethnic groups. Mosques run by Muslims spreading Islam in all Ethiopia to unite folks. We need to provide jobs, health clinics, development, and education opportunities to suffering Ethiopians. Islam can spread through trade/commerce like before. I mean the Christain missionaries where very successful in Ethiopia and the same can be applied for Muslims. I can see it people in Gambella become Muslim, Benishangul is muslim, 100% of Oromos muslim, southern peoples become muslim, etc. There will still be plenty of Christian's in Ethiopia but they will be minority.
We Somalis have had so many wars with Ethiopia for a centuries and Ethiopia is aware Somali fighting spirit. However, Ethiopian aggressive towards Somalia go whole the way 1414 and beyond, every time they tried, they have been defeated, retaliated and completely annihilated. The whole of Ethiopia was about to fall under somali hiro Ahmed Gurey1530, but saved by a Portuguese Pedro da Gama, son of navigator Vasco da Gama. Ogaden War of 1977-78 between Somalia and Ethiopia, Somalia defeated Ethiopia and came as close as a few kilometers from the capital of Itiopia Addis Ababa but saved as usual and previous conflicts by Soviet Union and Cuba, which were seeking a cross-continent socialist alliance. If they think we have internal conflicts to be exploited and invade our country, we are willing to give them one more round. Somali Patriotism is what all Somalis have in common one for all, all for one, do not underestimate when it comes defending our motherland from north to south. Soomaliya ha noolaato.
Somali is an ethnicity. Ogaden, Somaliland and Djibouti are Somali in that case. Plus, Somalia's flag is the flag also used to represent all ethnic Somalis.
Somaliand is a country joined Somalia in 1960 Now need recognition after separate from Somalia But Somalia still claim it's part of region this is not true
a friend of mine told me that Dr. Abiy like ethics politics . I was not belive it now I believe it i,m from Ethiopia I support our government but our current government has hidden agenda 🤔
Thank you Hermela, Somaliland citizens appreciate your efforts and willingness to promote this issue to Ethiopian public to discuss and share their position.
I literally will tell you that the colonial border will be dismantled slowly one-by-one however Somaliland should be recognized as an independent country with in the Horn of Africa at the same time tigray state recognized as an independent country as well so let's see how this coronavirus border dismantle slowly but at the same time I can say we can have a United Horn of Africa as a region I need Colonial cultural and political ties That unite us as a region
We don't need view Somali states in the horn as somaliland inshallah we strive for greater Somali unity one nation under god and become the real horners ...Somalis are the real horners the claimed 🤔
When Somalia Mogadishu run the country smoothly and democratically without fight then Define the greater Somalia the Five Regents table and can be a greater samatha one flag with five stars that really cannot wait to see this
Somalia is hiding the truth.. somaliland was British protectorate at least 76 years, in 1960 Somaliland united to Somalia and after 30 years Somaliland got thier independence again in 1991 so Somaliland deserves to be a country like Eretria and south sudan
Abiy will never recognise Somaliland. But understands the facts in the ground and therefore deals with Somaliland authorities on economic security and immigration issues. So to accuse Abiy for meddling in Somalia's sovereignty is childish.
Ethiopia is wasting time having dialogue with a failed state of Somalia, thiopia has it own priorities, Abiye needed Somalia to invade Tigre, job done, now he need economic recovery and he threw away somalia like a used condom.
Somalia cut diplomatic ties with Kenya and Guinea-Conakry for exactly the same reason: State invitation and rolling out a presidential style welcome. Ethiopian trade with Somaliland = $1bill annually--- what if Somaliland stops this? Ethiopian trade with Somalia = $unknown and less then $1000 annually i guess The question is why is Somalia discriminating between 3 African countries? Somalia should cut all diplomatic ties with Ethiopia immediately..
Very interesting I can't wait to hear the whole segment thanks hermella!

*Eritrean
So do we think Eritrea should be forced to come back to Ethiopia? Of course not, Its an independent country, and we respect that.
If Somaliland wants to be independent from Somalia, and I see it has been functioning independently for many years now, what is the issue with recognizing their peoples wish?
I am from Somaliland I would advise you as foreign alien to stay away from Somali matters.
More importantly:
1. Somaliland territorial borders were made in 1889
2. Somalia's borders were made 1925
The only viable unity of all Somalis is if: Ethiopia abdicated Haud+Ogadeen regions, Kenya abdicates NFD regions, Djibouti accepts unity and then Somaliland and Somalia can discuss a NEW unity of all Somalis.
It is pure hypocrisy to reject Somaliland sovereign right, while Ethiopia and kenya colonise somali territory.
Now if Somalia wishes to promote somali unity it needs to work towards liberating territories still colonized by Ethiopia and Kenya and Yemen (Socotra island).
AU countries sovereignty is based on colonial territory... pure and simple... either respect all colonial borders or remove them all??? And if that is the case, Somalia should begin claiming the Haud+Ogadeen territory of ethiopia?
People from Sool Sanag Cayn are against this one Clan state. They're are fighting for unity for decades. So don't talk about foreign interference policy if you don't know what's going on on the ground.

Somaliland was a British protectorate from 1884 to 1960 it's no different than Eritrea whether East Africa likes it or not. The people of Somaliland rejected the constitution of 1961 just one year after the unification. Italian Somalia did not took over Somaliland by force rather it was a voluntary Union. From 1981 to 1991 Somaliland went to war against Somalia and we are ready for war if that's what Somalia wants.

Thats why any country shouldn't be helping rebels to break up countries!
Very touchy issue. We are saying no more divisions in the Horn and here we go. Why can't Ethiopia negotiate with Somalia and create opportunities for everyone rather than creating animosity? There are some Somalis who believed the movement that was started by Hermela which was to respect the sovereignty of each country. Now Somalia will be forced to look for friends like Egypt and at the same time support rebel groups against Ethiopia. When is the Horn gonna breathe? When are we gonna open borders and integrate and carry single passport? Farmajo really believed in Abiy but he is now under heavy criticism back home and most likely will not return.

We want to hear what our Somaliland brothers have to say on this subject. Ethiopia shares a large border with Somaliland and there is no initiative from Somalia on how to handle the situation, no proposals, negotiations and tangible solution in sight concerning Somaliland. in the mean time Somalia couldn't even agree on a unifying constitution and mode of election and is still run by former warlords and hooligans while other countries are establishing military bases in Somaliland. Looking at the mess in Somalia and with no initiative or dialogue around the table on both sides; Somaliland will never agree to join up with its former host country. FYI The ''Sheik" you brought here is a brutal RAPIST wanted in two different countries.
Hi Abraham, Mr. Hersy's argument does not mske sense at all. Arab nations may share teligion, language and ethicity but that does make them one state.

Thank you and respect🇸🇴❤️🇪🇹 but the grater Somalia was already divided and now what’s left of it the one you and I know. And we won’t have that! Imagine if Somalia was dived into Puntland, Somaliland, Jubaland. What would be left if it. Those are big states in Somalia.
What's unfolding in and around Ethiopia is really full of madness 😠 I am lost in just to guess what happened to PM Abiy and his administration since Filtman left. Don't know where the orders came from to force things change 360° overnight. Major and bad changes are taking place.. What if this happens to Ethiopia to separate Oromia and others recognize it? 🤔 very sad.
Abiy Ahmed is a snake in the grass
Oromia would have to evaluate if separation from Ethiopia is beneficial for it???
Abiy used Somalia like a condom and when he was done, he dumped somalia in the bin of history.
Melez retained mature political relationship with Somaliland, because Somaliland delivers its promises. Somalia is not capable of delivering anything since the president faromarjjo needs 20,000 Au troops to go to toilet is his 1sq km compound. Somalia has no future, why care what somalia thinks???
Somalia president did not even say 1 word to Abiye. Why? it is because Faomarjo in muuqdisho is a fake paper president in need of 20,000 au troops to even stay in his 1sq km presidential compound. Why should Abiye respect a fool?
True, this divid and rule is madness to the fullest. If Somalia unit with Ethiopia it definitely benefit both parties and definitely make them stronger.

Hermela, there are a lot of mistakes in this video.
1) The Somaliland, Somalia population ratio is 1:2. Not 1:6 as stated in this video. Hargeisa is the 2nd largest Somali city in the Horn at about ~1.5 million people, with the rest of Somaliland being in the range of about 5 million. Somalia's population minus Somaliland is about 10 million.
2) Somaliland's existence respects the principle of Uti possidetis in international law. This alone makes it a unique situation in the world. Recognition wouldn't lead to a domino effect of secessionist states across Africa. Other unrecognized states don't have these conditions met.
3) Somaliland is NOT a secessionist entity, it is a founding state in the 1960 Union to create Somalia. It was a disillusion of union that was corrected in 1991.
4) Somaliland held a referendum in 2001 with a 97.1% voted in affirming Somaliland's independence.
This fact is further cemented by the African Union's fact-finding mission in 2005.
Well said!
Stop lying. This journalist is well informed and knows more in the horn than you do.
facts. this lady is a so called journalists, who doesn’t even bother to fact check issues she is talking about. quite embarrassing on her end
You are incorrect and spreading false information.
1) There is no official consensus conducted in Somalia that reflectds offical populations. You are cooking up numbers because your second point already alludes to the Montevideo convention for statehood which one of the main criteria is a fixed number of settled population. The lie is so convinienet for you to state IsaaqLand is 5 million because you think it would satisified one of the requirements.
2) somaliland aka IsaaqLand does not respectd any international law or logic. Armed milita who go by the name of SNM who everyone knows who were created by and for Isaaq declared this is called country. The question to the world and any sane people is "since when do tribe get recognised as a country?" The immoral argument for the likes of you and others who support this is that they claim lands that belong to other tribes in the region and forcing them, by force, to comply. Also, we all know the quagmire that is African borders due to colonial borders. This would and SHOULD create a domino effect if the any member of the internal communiate dares to recognise illegal region as a country.
3) Another big lie, and you are not even ashamed of it which is very telling. British somaliland was a region which the British gave back the control to local administration. It did NOT get recognised as a country, no country including the British recognised it as a country and we certainly NOT a member of the UN. So where does your fantasy come from that it was a founding state? Do logic and truth not mean anything to you people? Lastly, calling it an 'disillusion' of the union won't change the fact Somalis were and are anti imperialism. The ancestors fought and died for these lands. Somalis from all walks of life come together to create a nation on 1st July 1960. The Republic of Somalia. You and other tribalist will never break this.
4) This is absolute a joke, gone are the days were you spewed your falsehood unchallenged. Somalis are awake to your bullshit. For anyone else reading this, this is called referendrum did not have any international observers, ballots were not sent to all the regions they claim to control, armed SNM militia were sent to certain regions like Awdal where they intimidated people who went in to vote. Laslty, and this is the most important of all, is that they lied and switched the question of the so called referendum in 2001. Initially it was NOT meant to be a question of secession but due to misinformation spread over the radio and forcing many who could not read or write to vote led to this. There were voluenteers from a university in South Africa who went there on their own money for research purposes and they've expressed their concern there were prevented from visiting Sool and Sanaag region were other tribes live. They have also observed people who were allowed to express their opinion.
Your bullshit won't fly anymore man, this information is easily available, please google their so called referendum in 2001 and you can read up on those volunteers who were there.
AU so called fact finding mission was the most idiotic of it all. I wish they'd fully recommended IsaaqLand recognition because every stupid dictator in Africa would have suffered the consequences of their action. A TPLF funded mission is not something any sane person should qoute.
Not even 97% of Isaaq agree with the independence, you mever had a referendum of the whole nation, votes of non Isaaq specifically Daarood are disregarded, so respectfully, this is an illusion.
If Somaliland was so great, why are people still dying and risking death to go to elsewhere? Because its a lie.
Whether it is two Somalias or one, we Ethiopians want Somalian fate decided by Somalians. We don’t want our government to be a regional power-broker! Somalians, whatever you decide for your internal affairs, with reason, we shall embrace!
Abiye made a deal in 2018 with Somalia's Faromarjo dictator and Eriteria's Afwerki dictator to commit genocie against citizens of Ethiopia the Tigre. When the job was done, Abiye called Eriteria invaders and rapists, and called Somalia terrorists.
Somalia is not a sovereign country, it is colony economically government by Turkey, militarily government by Amisom or AU, Somalia is technically a modern colonial project under UN resolution chapter-7 and soon to be upgraded to chapter-12 a full colonial project.
Abiy used somalia like a condom and there is only one thing you can do with a condom used to invade the Tigre people.
I am Ethiopian…, but I don’t expect such move from Ethiopia. Even though Somaliland is governing itself for the last couple of decades, it is not officially succeeded from Somalia. We don’t know what is going on behind the scene , America is also moving to recognize it . I don’t support meddling other nations internal issues even if u have some interest to look for.

Ethiopia must be ready to loose Kilil-5 the Somali region of ethiopia for ever, and with all the oil reserves in it.
In that case respect the choice made by the people of Somaliland that was made in a free and fair referendum that was internationally observed and deemed as such.
This is complete bs. Ethiopia recognition won’t mean crap if the international community specially The west won’t recognize it.
@@kiberenigestsebez6633 lol. I guess it would be like if Mogadishu tried to recognize Tigray as independent. And if Abiy gets mad about Somalia’s interference, Somalia can say hay he is meddling and stifling the aspiration of Tigray people. They can say he is the one meddling.
For you to say that Somalia is meddling when it tries to exercise control over its internationally recognized territory, then anyone can say the same about any part of Ethiopia where people are discontent or have some aspiration of autonomy.
This is complicated. Let’s not simplify it. Ethiopia’s interest is clear. It wants access to port in exchange for meaningless recognition. I hope it gets the port. But let’s not lie to ourselves.
@@ermiasd2695 Who do you think forced Abiye to invite the President of Somaliland?
Since 1991 when Somaliland left the oluntary union with Somalia, it has held its 6th presidential election, parlimentary election, 2 local council election and is heading for its second multi party election. Somaliland has the fairest democratic election 2nd only to Ghana in maturity and reality.
The despotic African Countries SHOULD be trying to compete with that level of unassisted democratic progress.
It is the WESTERN powers and the middle east that Ethiopia now needs to save it's economy. Abiy will jump as high as he is told., and for now he has betrayed the useless dog Faromarjo since Ethiopia has little economic exchange with Somalia.
I'm from Somaliland but I would never want to witness Somaliland receive independence. I'm from the issaq tribe and despite our clan differences we are the same ethnic and the same religion. Unless your uneducated there is no fundamental difference between Somalia and Somaliland. Uff
Ethiopia knows that Somaliland is reliable partner and good neighbour. Abiye realised that Somaliland can't be ignored. Again, Somaliland and Somalia were two different countries united and merged The Somali Republic, that was meant to unite all Somali people (Somaliland, Djibouti, Somalia, Somali regional state of Ethiopia and NFD) unification of all Somali territories didn't work and it was too ambitious. So, there is no legitimate claim against Somaliland independence from the failed state of Somalia.
Actually, there is no officially recognized Somaliland country! but better to unit as East African nation for better development, prosperity and integrity.
somalia has double GDP per capita of somaliland -- if somalia is a failed state then what does that make somaliland? the only argument i've seen coming from somaliland for their recognition is to get more international aid, not an acknowledgement of their sovereignty.

Let us all stay positive and work for united Africa .
Free Haud+Ogadeenia so they can join their somali brothers
Actually your PM is known to be a liar and manipulative
Daaroodku naga cilmi badan xataa waji xabasho waa gashadeen😂😂😂
This aged terribly
I'm from somaliand, somaliand was never part of Somalia, somaliand and Somali formed a union called the Somali Republic. The Republic was destroyed by a dictator from the South who attempted to genocide the northern part of the country ( somaliand). When the state collapsed the northern part took back it's independence. The south went back to being Somalia and the north back to Somaliand. btw this fake sheikh is a a member of the Somalian dictator family and therefore is bias as hell.these people destroyed Somalia murdered more than a million people using all types of tactics bombing in the north, starvation in the South. stole land from the Bantu minority.
The Somalia part of the unity has remained a savage land, where 200-500 people are murdered daily without fail.
Brother, the was nothing called Somaliland in the first place, Italy and uk decided in berlin which parts they wanna colonize as they couldn't capture the whole country. The 1960 reunification was just a middle finger to the colonizers. You can't change history, the regions inhabitated by somalis might have never been under one rule, but it was lots of close kingdoms throughout history. Somaliland never existed prior to the British arrival in Somalia.
@@DidiDidi-hg4kg 54 African countries did not exists pre-colonial era or prior to the Berlin conference of 1884, well liberia if you wish nitpick.
The world does not simply cater to the wishes of Somalia's who is a failure, besides it makes no sense cock-blocking another Somali state attempting to develop and pursue a life free from daily suicide bombs and 20,000 foreign troops.
If Somalia had any genuine unity strategy it would attempt discuss unity with occupied Somali territories in Ethiopia and Kenya.
Not one single person who hails from Somalia is able to define "Somali-Unity" or are they committed to make it a reality.
What has Somalia sacrificed from the unity of all 5-somali territories? nothing, in fact Somalia has given the "Somali" the worte publicity in the last 60years. Look at Djibouti with a population 1/5 that of Somaliland and it is successful and peaceful compared to Somalia!
Somalia has no sells pitch, no sales strategy of why anyone should unite with it, it is basket-case where terrorist are collecting taxes in 80% of Somalia.
Is it not rational for the two states to part company, develop individually as Somaliland has for the lat 30years and made major deelpmental leaps in economy and social progress.
Somaliland exports over 150 students to the top universities globally every year from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge to name a few. The last presidential election has 1.6million voters in a 1-man-1vote, hailed the most free and far by African standards.
Somalia has thousands who die attempting to cross shark invested waters into EU annually. Daily there are suicide bombs, Somalia has no constitution since 1961, Somalia has not had democratic election since 1967. Ikraan Tahliil a young government employee was kidnapped by somalia secret police and is missing without a trace.
It is against Human rights to ask anyone to join Somalia!!!
Somalia cannot hold even a presidential selection process with 275corrupt individuals who are usually paid $10-50k to select the next president. You have a former president whose mandate expired Feb2021.
How would Somaliland unite with a burning failed state? guarded by 20,000 AU troops?
I think Somalia should be upgraded from UN resolution chapter-7 to chapter-12 and have its fake Sovereignty stripped, what could then happen is Somaliland is paid to administer it while it remains a UN-trust territory... i mean that is also a form of political togetherness... would that make you happy???
Somaliland would use its expertise in state building to restore Somalia, but it would mean Somaliland gaining full sovereignty,is that suitable to you as a means of ending somali division, it may be viable!
@@oogdhugee_3072 talked like a real seccionist with absolutely no knowledge of history. Yes 54 African countries didn't cuz the Europeans didn't create the fake borders. The whole of Somaliland argument is we self governed when they're not the only state. There's literally 3 regions in Somaliland that are unionists.
Even SL politicians don't believe in their secession, they just do it for the special statutes and make as much money while it lasts. The world has on multiple occasions 100% rejected the one clan enclave, why would they create another poor African country.
It's a fact that Somaliland is used like a bitch by anybody that has a beef with Somalia. I.e. the Arabs, UK, Kenya, Ethiopia. Recognizing that region means they lose such a card which they used to pressure Somalia.
And lastly, plz don't about development. Although Mogadishu faces terrorist threat, it's 100x times more developed than the whole Somaliland and produces more GDP per capita than the whole of Somaliland combined. I'll advise SL leaders to stop paying millions of money to RUclips lobbyists and actually spend it the people that need it.
@@DidiDidi-hg4kg Emotional.
Did you know there is a new law in Somaliland giving asylum seekers from Yemen, Syria, India, Sudan and Afghanistan citizenship? but 7000 of Somalia economic migrants were evicted from Sool, Awdal and Sanaag and put on cattle-trucks back to fashil-state :)
The people you think want unity requested the eviction :) their unity appears to be different from yours?
p.s Where do you think Gadabguursi and Harti invest their money from muuqdisho? tell me why Laascaanood is deeloping faster than Gerowe or Boorame faster than Bossaasso?
I welcome Unity, it is a system that depletes funds from Somalia... viva unity, keep the $ coming.
Somalia is a one nation we Respekt or itobin and kenya they also Respekt os ..peace and love Somalia ppl
As a big fan of Hermela, I did not expect this from her particularly given her intelligence and experience as a journalist. Somalia and somaliland are NO different than the hundreds of countries demarcated by Europeans. Somalia and somaliland were two different countries with distinct borders just like any other countries. Somaliland took independence before Somalia gained independence, so the argument of secession does not apply to somaliland. I beg you Hermela to study the subject matter and due justice to the discourse before you label it “one clan secessionist”.
To the other Ethiopians who have respectfully posted their comments, if somaliland and Somalia unite again, make NO mistake we are coming for the somali portion of Ethiopia to realize our dream of pan Somali state. This will happen by force thru war since Ethiopia would not let go of that region. If you want to revisit the war of 1977 all over again and an endless wars and conflicts in the region, then go ahead and promote a PAN somali state.
Don't lie to your soul. We from Khaatumo will never except isaaqland
As an individual, like it or not your tribe is already ahead of us on that front…. Do not lie to yourself
@@MadarBokh And that's why we build our state SSC Khaatumo ? ?
You are daydreaming, you failed to take over Buhoodle three times. As you know in Buhoodle is waving this 🇸🇴 Flag ! And we will take back our capitol laascanood very soon in scha Allah !
Somaliland flag is flying there as we speak, my brother. Yes there are two factions for and against. Who is xaglatoosiye…from Buhoodle along with his SSC. Where is Dr. Galeyr and his SSC…of course they are both in Somaliland. The new SSC has no legitimacy. If Somalis want PAN Somalia, I’m for it…let’s start with regions that are not in Somali hands like Ethiopia and Kenya anything less is a straw man argument
Let’s be truthful, Somalis are after missing regions of Somalis; first of that list being Ethio-somali region. Why don’t you all have the guts to say it out load.
We somaliland moved on.

Somaliland will be fully recognized any day now. The real Question is, should the borders of the State of Somaliland end at Puntland. There have been calls for the annexation of Puntland, or a 99 year lease to bring democracy and freedom to the people of Puntland who are being oppressed by their own government. Puntland, would essentially become an administered area of Somaliland, but not officially apart of the State of Somaliland, thus no open borders.
Somaliland is ran by clan and anyone who becomes a president can be bought by foreigners
WAKE UP AFRICA 🌍 THEY WANT US TO FIGHT EACH OTHER COME TOGETHER MAKE PEACE this is the time we could do it for the horn of AFRICA 🌍 👏💙🇪🇷🕊🌻
It is because Somaliland was a nation before Somalia. Because the 5star dream is dead and Ogadenia Djibouti and northern Kenya will not be part of. It is not one clan secession as you portrayed. We would like Somalilanders be part of your discussion.
No it was NOT a nation, it was a region which was never internationally recognised. Also, you know you can't fool Somalis that IsaaqLand is not a one clan enclave right? Seriously? You going to argue with Somalis that all the tribes that live in the North of Somalia support the Isaaq in their quest of dominance over others? Get real man
@@masale They are already the dominant ones and like it or not, they are a nation of their own. One day your worst nightmare is gonna give you a heart attack. 35 countries recognized on 26th day of June 1960 but they opted for the failed union that resulted disastrous and never worked. It wasn't legally ratified anyway. The sooner you realise the better for you. If you can't defeat, you better join the train before it leaves the station.
Thank you Hermela as Ethiopian we need to know , it's embarrassing..
Hermi keep going to for an amazing 👏 journey, 🇪🇹 ❤️
I am Ethiopian and I like Somali music.
I don’t understand, what do you mean? The Sumaley who are in Ethiopia territory are Ethiopian , the Sumaley who are in Kenya territory Kenyans
I think my dear do your home work, try to enquirer the information from the Embassy
It is not about nationality. He is talking about scramble for africa & how some want to keep dividing more & more.
Stop.fckng claiming us we Somalis never say ethiopia is ou country and be proud of who you real are Instead of claiming other people who don t speak the some language
Mash Allaah Somalia is one❤❤
Hermela, from what you've explained about what President Sahilework did and the word offensive just didn't go together for me, and that was your question too, i believe so is that the interference or what part is offended them?
It's nothing to do with Ethopia or Abey Ahmed policy, it's Somaliland people who made a mistake to unite with Somalia And now they withdraw from the Union of the Failed state
Ethiopia shouldn't sit down and watch while other countries come to Somaliland and establish their military base there. Ethiopia's present in Somaliland will not affect the unity of Somalia, in the contrary it will defend it. If Ethiopia ignores any manoeuvre by other countries in Hargessa, then in return it will dangerously affect it in particular and Somalia in general.
Ethiopia has no choice, after committing genocide against Tigre, Abiye was told and forced to extend a red carpet for the President of Somaliland.
Somaliland did not beg Ethiopia for a red carpet, Ethiopia begged us to walk on her red carpet. Abiy made his alliance with Eriterai and Somalia and he suffered a mental breakdown working with those two genocidal countries. Abiye was forced to beg Somaliland president to walk on his red carpet.
Abiye was forced to betray Afiwerki(Eriteria) and Faromarjo(Somalia), and he was forced to go to Dubia like a coward little dog and beg for economic assistance.
What the hell can Somalia do about it??? nothing
1. Kenya extended the same red carpet for president of the only democratic country in the Horn somaliland's Muuse Biixi... Somalia immediately cut diplomatic ties and sent home their ambassador.
2. Guinea-conakry extended similar red carpet to Somaliland,... Somalia immediate cut diplomatic ties and refused to ever speak to them again.
Now we are waiting for Somalia to do the same with Ethiopia if they have any dignity, otherwise Somalia is discriminating against Bantu-countries. Why is it ok to cut ties with one african country but not another for the same reason???
It is a case for the AU to discuss!
@@oogdhugee_3072 Nobody committed genocide against Tigaru. Contrary was countless Amaras, Oromos, Gambella and Soomaalis who faced slaughter by the TPLF. Abiy only made an alliance with the presidents of Eritrea and Somalia for security and economic gains. Why the obsession with red carpets?
Actually it’s NOT ONE ☝️ CLAN 😂 Isaaq is MAJORITY but we had one ☝️ OTHER clan PRESIDENT his name is Dahir Riyale Kahin & his CLAN is Gadabuursi that SETTLE in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 & Somaliland 🇮🇷 👍
The problem now is.. Somali government stopped allowing for Ethopians the use of berbera port . #2 Djibouti increased 73% taxes to Ethopians if they want use their port, because they don't have choice take it or leave it. Millions of Oromo people who are working in Somalia are been kicked out. So now who lost?
As a somalilander back in 1980s somali as one including somaliland we are the one and the first country supported recognition for eriteria every somali knows what we did after 1977 supporting eriteria to weaken ethiopia. Now ethiopia is doing the same. And as a somalilander and for my country to move on for recognition we are playing the card and supporting ethiopia. 120 million ethiopians with out port and 6 million somalilander with out recognition. So its win win for both of us plus 40 percentage of Ethiopian airlines with i always take from london to my somaliland its win win for ethiopia and somaliland. Let southern somali people cry and shut it😂😂
Hermela ask Your Uncle Isiayas why Nations want Freedom,SomaliLands have the Right to do What they want,Please Hermela Search another Business.
What fragment are they talking about. One ethnic group doesn't kill it's own people and poison them. What happened in Somaliland amounts ti Genocide at it's highest level. This is about Somalilands People and the Direction it wants to take for its People. Somaliland with the Blessing of Allah after what they tried to do is Unstoppable and InshaAllah this wonderful, lovely people will Succeed.
just as a Somali go to Ethiopian airport when they know you are Somali they will treat you the the awfullest way they can , go to shopping area if you are somali they will be mean to you as hell , those ethopian hate towards Somali runs in their blood
Somaliland People who support giving away this piece of land to ethiopia are a disgrace and illiterate when it comes to strategy. It is a strategic move to take over land Smack dab in the middle of Somali region. This enables ethiopia to take over Somaliland which has an insignificant and weak army which ethiopia can squash like an insect. THINK Somaliland people and stop letting small things like recognition blind you.
Abiy Ahmed is a hypocrite. He attacked the Tigre region of Ethiopia because they did not listen to his orders not to hold elections and now he says he is signing an agreement with a province of Somalia instead of the Federal government which is the only one that has the right to sign agreements for the Whole of Somalia. I believe this will backfire and will unite Somalis and we will defend our land like we did centuries from Ethiopian aggression. As for Abiy Ahmed He seems to be desperate to divert attention from the wars he started within his country. First, He attacked the Tigre region, then the Oramia region, and now the Amhara region. As for the traitor of so so-called president of Somaliland, he is also facing a similar situation because he is also facing an internal civil war and he wants to extend his rule for two more years illegally and people said NO therefore he is facing a similar situation at home like Abiy Ahmed.
Eritrea can not be forced to join Ethiopia!
Same way Somaliland can not be forced to join Somalia. Also please keep ethics of journalism, you have to listen both sides of any argument dear. Thanks!
The Abiy gov't as always is making decisions w/ out thinking it through.
Are you TPLF junta ? You are thinking through? Get over your self. Ethiopia knows what is best for itself. We have many good leaders in the top while you are doing what?
Just 🤫
@@daved5683 We can’t dismiss everything by calling names he is right Abiy’s foriegn policy has been a total disaster he makes decisions w/out considering the repurcussions this same mistake was repeated in the Nile dam talks he dismissed the former doctrine in not allowing foriegn powers to mediate the negotiations but he did and we remember the results and how Trump lashed out this trend of reckless decisions will cost our country a lot and blind support will not get us anywhere
@@daved5683 Anchi dedeb. We don’t have to be juntas to disagree with Abiy. The choices he has been making are questionable and I don’t trust him. He has used my people (Amhara) Afar, and Eritreans and then discarded us and betrayed us by releasing the very terrorists who caused all this pain and suffering! Me, personally I never trusted Abiy because I’m smart enough to know never trust a politician. Especially an African one, cuz all they are is corrupt puppets of the West. U need to wake up my dear. 💚💛❤️
@@mamaafrica4521 you are junta so 🤫
Well, as a Somalia I expected Ethiopia to do this, but I didn’t expect filthy Oromo will be the leader when Ethiopia pulls last breath out of Somalia, but all the blames goes back to the Somalis who put their country in this horrible place!
The government in Somalia should focus on fighting Al shabaab!
Somali is a language not citizenship or nationality???
It's certainly not the appropriate timing for Abiy Ahmed to open another front against Ethiopia. There are already several issues to deal with in local regions, not forgetting the tension with Eritrea. In my opinion PM Abiy didn't take the right decision in this case.
A representative of Somaliland should be invited to respond. Having said that, am not sure about PM Abye’s move. He seems to be all over the map.
Somaliland separated from somalia 1991 they have their own flag borders currency and Somaliland people they don’t believe whats called unity viva Somaliland
I agree i don’t think its Ethiopian governments place to recognize any part of Somalia as anything.
Not every somali. We in Somaliland see ourselfs as own country
bravo.
UN breakable bonds btw Hermela & Simon …
We respect Eritrea independencey why not somaliland ? Get the history ( idiogy) English and Italy No No No Two difrent country and language but they can work peacfully No war. Accept and respect ppl idea.
Why don’t we Somalis support oromia people and Tigray people and ensure the break down of Ethiopia we won’t stop till we get the victory
What makes you think we need your support 😂😂😂

Somaliland and Ethopia are big brothers
The more you say Somaliland the more it comes into existence

Is that supposed to be #Nomore Ethiopian intervention ?
For the past 30 years the only thing Somaliland gained from Ethiopia is training of high-ranking soldiers and scholarships for students other than that I don't recall any help from Ethiopia. We buy products worth more than 500 million dollars from Ethiopia and in return we asked Ethiopia to purchase our fish and Ethiopia said no. Ethiopia is a close market and we should close Ethiopia from our markets especially Khat. Mr. Abiye Ahmed turn his back on Somaliland right after he was elected and right now Somaliland is getting new friend like the United States and Taiwan.
I mean since this all borders was drowning of outsiders why not change? Tbh horn of africa should be one under one leadership 4 countries but one people but we are weak to unite but strong to be divided make it make sense
Here's a thought. Somaliland holds a referendum to decide if it wishes to remain in union with somalia and everyone respects the outcome. 🤔
If it’s the western demanding the port, they will give it for free 🤔🤔
Somaliland is a well organized, democratic, military powerful nation that can pulverize Somalia in a few hours. So whether Zoomalia is happy about Somaliland or not is immaterial.
She is very clueless about the history of Somaliland or generally the history of The HOF.
Is not clanisme! It’s call Democracy… and people there has spoken… let’s Somaliland , how they want to live in the future ..
That a one-clan breakaway enclave calling itself Somaliland is part and parcel of Somalia in the eyes of Somalia, the rest of Africa, and indeed the international community of Somalia.
That the one-clan secessionist enclave uses force to compel its secession on the other four unionist clans in northern Somalia (former British Somaliland) who occupy nearly 70% of the territory.
The move of Abiy is to get a Coast using Somaliland.
It would be better to establish Islamic dominance among all ethnic groups. Mosques run by Muslims spreading Islam in all Ethiopia to unite folks. We need to provide jobs, health clinics, development, and education opportunities to suffering Ethiopians. Islam can spread through trade/commerce like before. I mean the Christain missionaries where very successful in Ethiopia and the same can be applied for Muslims. I can see it people in Gambella become Muslim, Benishangul is muslim, 100% of Oromos muslim, southern peoples become muslim, etc.
There will still be plenty of Christian's in Ethiopia but they will be minority.
Is the gentleman implying that where Somali ethnic live should be part of Somalia????
Ahmed Abiy doesn't want democracy or federalism. He wants to be king from 1600 century. Stop the wars in ethiopian and work for the unity of ethiopia
We Somalis have had so many wars with Ethiopia for a centuries and Ethiopia is aware Somali fighting spirit. However, Ethiopian aggressive towards Somalia go whole the way 1414 and beyond, every time they tried, they have been defeated, retaliated and completely annihilated. The whole of Ethiopia was about to fall under somali hiro Ahmed Gurey1530, but saved by a Portuguese Pedro da Gama, son of navigator Vasco da Gama.
Ogaden War of 1977-78 between Somalia and Ethiopia, Somalia defeated Ethiopia and came as close as a few kilometers from the capital of Itiopia Addis Ababa but saved as usual and previous conflicts by Soviet Union and Cuba, which were seeking a cross-continent socialist alliance. If they think we have internal conflicts to be exploited and invade our country, we are willing to give them one more round. Somali Patriotism is what all Somalis have in common one for all, all for one, do not underestimate when it comes defending our motherland from north to south. Soomaliya ha noolaato.
እንወድሻለን❤❤❤❤❤🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
The shake is delusional....djobuti is not Somali, ogaden is not somalian
Somali is an ethnicity. Ogaden, Somaliland and Djibouti are Somali in that case. Plus, Somalia's flag is the flag also used to represent all ethnic Somalis.
🙏🙏🙏🙏💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯❤️❤️✅
Who is Somali????
we do have different language the south has af maay we cant even communicate different words dialects etc south is mixed not pure ethnic group
Somaliand is a country joined Somalia in 1960 Now need recognition after separate from Somalia But Somalia still claim it's part of region this is not true
a friend of mine told me that Dr. Abiy like ethics politics . I was not belive it now I believe it i,m from Ethiopia I support our government but our current government has hidden agenda 🤔
Thank you Hermela, Somaliland citizens appreciate your efforts and willingness to promote this issue to Ethiopian public to discuss and share their position.
I literally will tell you that the colonial border will be dismantled slowly one-by-one however Somaliland should be recognized as an independent country with in the Horn of Africa at the same time tigray state recognized as an independent country as well so let's see how this coronavirus border dismantle slowly but at the same time I can say we can have a United Horn of Africa as a region I need Colonial cultural and political ties That unite us as a region
We don't need view Somali states in the horn as somaliland inshallah we strive for greater Somali unity one nation under god and become the real horners ...Somalis are the real horners the claimed 🤔
When Somalia Mogadishu run the country smoothly and democratically without fight then Define the greater Somalia the Five Regents table and can be a greater samatha one flag with five stars that really cannot wait to see this
Somalia is hiding the truth.. somaliland was British protectorate at least 76 years, in 1960 Somaliland united to Somalia and after 30 years Somaliland got thier independence again in 1991 so Somaliland deserves to be a country like Eretria and south sudan
Abiy will never recognise Somaliland. But understands the facts in the ground and therefore deals with Somaliland authorities on economic security and immigration issues. So to accuse Abiy for meddling in Somalia's sovereignty is childish.
Ethiopia is wasting time having dialogue with a failed state of Somalia, thiopia has it own priorities, Abiye needed Somalia to invade Tigre, job done, now he need economic recovery and he threw away somalia like a used condom.
Somalia cut diplomatic ties with Kenya and Guinea-Conakry for exactly the same reason: State invitation and rolling out a presidential style welcome.
Ethiopian trade with Somaliland = $1bill annually--- what if Somaliland stops this?
Ethiopian trade with Somalia = $unknown and less then $1000 annually i guess
The question is why is Somalia discriminating between 3 African countries?
Somalia should cut all diplomatic ties with Ethiopia immediately..
